The Tin Dog welcomes you to sit back and listen to his rants and ramblings about all that is best in modern SF and Television. Via the gift of the new fangled Podcast over the tinterweb.

As you can probably guess Tin Dog mostly talks about Doctor Who, Torchwood and Sarah Jane Smith but that wont stop him talking about any other subject you suggest.

Hailing from a non specific part of the northeast of England, Tin Dog is male and in his mid 30s. A life long fan of almost all TV SF. His semi-autistic tendencies combined with his total lack of social skills have helped him find a place in the heart of British SF Fandom.

Even as a child the Tin Dogs mother told him that she can trace his love of SF TV back to his rhythmic kicking, while still in the womb, along to the beat of the Avengers theme music.

From Gabriel Chase to Totters Lane, from the Bad Wolf Satellite to the back streets of the Cardiff, Tin Dog will give you his thoughts on the wonderful Whoniverse.

    TDP 1252: REVIEW 1.3. Doctor Who: Sontarans vs Rutans: Born to Die

    TDP 1252: REVIEW 1.3. Doctor Who: Sontarans vs Rutans: Born to Die

    This title was released in March 2024. It will be exclusively available to buy from the Big Finish website until 30 April 2024, and on general sale after this date. The war between the Sontarans and the Rutans has been going on for millennia. And is likely to continue for millennia more. A terrible conflict with no care for consequences or collateral damage. Billions have died with no end in sight. Its reach can encompass ancient Ireland and a forest world in the far future. Encounters with UNIT and a Doctor no more. From the outside these battles may seem disconnected. But sometimes there is a common thread. And unpicking that could destroy everything. When a trip to the planet Taxodon goes wrong the Doctor finds himself with mere hours to prove himself innocent of murdering a Sontaran. As more die, the Doctor and Charley need to uncover the cause and why the Sontarans are even on this planet... if they have time.

    TDP 1251: 13A. Doctor Who: The Fourth Doctor Adventures Series 13: Storm of the Sea Devils review

    review   This title was released in March 2024. It will be exclusively available to buy from the Big Finish website until 30 April 2024, and on general sale after this date. 13.1 Storm of the Sea Devils by David K Barnes (4 parts) Surgeon Lieutenant Harry Sullivan is supposed to be on holiday. But his arrival in Calcutta is intercepted by someone from the local branch of UNIT - a staff member called Naomi Cross. A businessman in the area has mysteriously cancelled the opening of his new hotel... and local villagers have reported sightings of 'devils' in the swamps. Devils that look very familiar from the UNIT files... The businessman requires medical aid so UNIT have decided to send him a doctor. Unfortunately, when Harry and Naomi arrive on site they find a different Doctor has got there ahead of them... And that's just the start of their troubles. 13.2 Worlds Beyond by Robert Khan and Tom Salinsky (2 parts) The Doctor, Harry and Naomi have arrived on a luxury resort world where custom-made holidays are provided for every visitor. Their minds are scanned and their ideal getaway is planned. Naomi gets an activity break by the sea, Harry explores a crumbling ruin and the Doctor ends up playing chess with Alan Turing. All seems idyllic... but every paradise must have a snake... mustn't it? **Please note: the collector’s edition CD box set is strictly limited to 1,500 copies**

    TDP 1245: Doctor Who 1.2. Doctor Who: Sontarans vs Rutans: The Children of the Future

    TDP 1245:  Doctor Who 1.2. Doctor Who: Sontarans vs Rutans: The Children of the Future   This title was released in February 2024. It will be exclusively available to buy from the Big Finish website until 31 March 2024, and on general sale after this date. The war between the Sontarans and the Rutans has been going on for millennia. And is likely to continue for millennia more. A terrible conflict with no care for consequences or collateral damage. Billions have died with no end in sight. The Brigadier is used to the Doctor acting strangely, but this time there’s something decidedly different about the whole affair. As he looks into the Time Lord's odd activities outside of UNIT, there's a mystery that'll take Lethbridge-Stewart to a site very familiar to Sarah Jane Smith. Can the Brigadier trust his old friend? Who are his mysterious new allies? And is the future of humanity really at stake? A Sontaran threat could spell the end of their long-standing friendship... and the entire planet! Brigadier Alistair Lethbridge-Stewart © Haisman & Lincoln and used under licence. With thanks to Hannah Haisman and Candy Jar.

Viva the Dog !

I have been following the Tin Dog for a decade . His views , rambling though they are sometimes are full of humour , wit and kindness for the world . He is always worth a listen and some times genuinely moving about Dr Who , Life ,The Universe and Everything . Keep it up Micheal . From Welsh Corgi .

Mr Day ,

No.

Too much Big Finish. Came looking for proper Who.

Best on iTunes

I’ve struggled to find good DW podcasts on iTunes - then I found this one. Fed up of podcasts by people that, weirdly, seem to a) have no idea what DW is about, b) have no idea about the history of DW (and not in a massively geeky way that alienates newer listeners), and c) plainly don’t watch the episodes based on the dodgy comments they come out with. Tin Dog is the exception. Short and to the point his episode reviews are insightful, thoughtful and fun - and seem to be almost spot on re my opinion of most of the episodes. Give it a listen
